And the results are phenomenal. Since , Asking Alexandria has established a world of rock music that is completely their own.
K-based rock group are readying their next chapter. Ben Bruce [guitar, backing vocals], Danny Worsnop [lead vocals], James Cassells [drums], Cameron Liddell [guitar], and Sam Bettley [bass] have arrived at a place of clarity and refreshed sense of artistic purpose. Armed with a new sense of dedication to themselves and to their fans, they went back to their roots and pulled inspiration from some of their earliest influences, creating a solid metal album that keeps pushing their newfound sound to new limits.
With no gimmicks or cheap tricks to fall back on and a renewed appetite for writing together, they fell in love again, with music and with each other as band mates. No one told me. I find it interesting that this is the first time that you guys have been in the same studio to make the album in more than a decade.
Why did you guys decide to change the way you record? Basically, we wanted to recapture that feeling we had when we started the band. We were so excited when we were kids to be in a band together. This time off, allowed us to reminisce on why we started this band and how much fun we had when we were kids. We just wanted to get that back. With this one, we were like no, we want to reconnect and we went away into the middle of nowhere just the five of us and we got in a room together for the first time in 10 years to write and create and recapture that sort of energy, and that passion that we had when we were kids starting this band for the first time.
As you mentioned the vibe and relationship going into that studio to make that record, there had to be a lot of emotion, and if you can, can you talk about how that emotion transferred into the new album? I think it was just the energy, we were so excited.
Obviously, emotions were running high, creating together again, but just the fact that we were all there, I could pick up my guitar and play guitar riff.
There was just energy bouncing around. So the emotions go through the room with just a lot of excitement. It was so much fun, there was so much joy, bouncing around that room. Genuinely you can hear it, and you can feel it in the in the recordings that we captured. All of us started getting vaccinated and that was another reason why we decided to go into the middle of nowhere. We very much kept it a closed session, it was just the five band members, our producer and engineer.
There was just a select few people that were allowed in the studio, and we stuck to our group, stuck to our bubble. We were cautious with it, but we stuck together and we went through it together.
Why did you guys choose a house in Franklin, TN? Simply because it was in an area that none of us were familiar with. So we wanted no distractions, there was nothing, so Franklin, Tennessee, provided us with that solitude and that just expansive nothingness. But we were also close enough about minutes away from Nashville.
Do those albums feel a bit like that to you? It definitely feels very much like that, and camaraderie is a great, great word for part of the experience of creating this newest album. I love that. With recording a new album together, is there a newfound love of the music, like there was in the beginning? Antisocialist The Death of Me Moving On The Violence Artist Playlists.
